Fees at Niagara Region landfills are going up next month.
The fee for garbage, construction, and demolition material weighing more than 50 kg will bump up from $115 to $117 per tonne.
Materials weighing 50 kg or less will be at a $5 minimum, which is now applicable on the first 50 kg, rather than on the first 60 kg.
The fee for asbestos is also increasing from $300 per tonne to $385.
Regional staff recommended the change after comparing fees with other municipalities and private sector options.
The increases come into effect April 1st.
